Hi Tyler!
The history of wikis is pretty well documented here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wikis
And the history of Wikipedia and how it came to be is analyzed in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Wikipedia, and also at length
in the book "The Wikipedia Revolution", by Andrew Lih.
If you're curious about the Wikimedia Foundation, which this is the
mailing list for, it's described briefly in the book "How Wikipedia
Works":

cheers,
Phoebe

Is Jimmy Wales on this list? Jimmy, what inspired you
to do a WIKI pedia? Were you inspired by the earlier wiki encyclopedia known as
WikiWikiWeb (c2.com)? Were there any other wikis before you besides that c2 wiki?
